A man borrowed some money from a private organization at 5% simple interest per annum. He lent this money to another person at 10% compound interest per annum and made a profit of Rs.26410 in 4 years. The man borrowed: |
Rs. 200000 Rs. 150000 Rs. 132050 Rs. 100000 |
Rs. 100000 |
The profit earned by man of Rs. 26410 is the difference between CI and SI of 4 years. Let the sum is P. So, CI of 4 years = P(1 + \(\frac{10}{100}\))4 - P = P [ (\(\frac{11}{10}\))4 - 1] = P [ \(\frac{14641}{10,000}\) - 1] = \(\frac{4641P}{10000}\) SI of 4 years = P × \(\frac{5}{100}\) × 4 = \(\frac{20P}{100}\) Now, CI - SI = \(\frac{4641P}{10000}\) - \(\frac{20P}{100}\) ⇒ [\(\frac{4641-2000}{10000}\)]P = 26410 ⇒ \(\frac{2641P}{10000}\) = 26410 ⇒ P = 10,00,00 |
